“Therefore I will make Samaria (A)a heap of ruins in the field,
Places for planting a vineyard;
I will pour down her stones into the valley,
And I will (B)uncover her foundations.
All her carved images shall be beaten to pieces,
And all her (C)pay as a harlot shall be burned with the fire;
All her idols I will lay desolate,
For she gathered it from the pay of a harlot,
And they shall return to the (D)pay of a harlot.”

Mourning for Israel and Judah

Therefore I will wail and howl,
I will go stripped and naked;
(E)I will make a wailing like the jackals
And a mourning like the ostriches,
For her wounds are incurable.
For (F)it has come to Judah;
It has come to the gate of My people—
To Jerusalem.

The Destruction of Israel

I saw the Lord standing by the altar, and He said:

“Strike the [a]doorposts, that the thresholds may shake,
And (A)break them on the heads of them all.
I will slay the last of them with the sword.
(B)He who flees from them shall not get away,
And he who escapes from them shall not be delivered.

“Though(C) they dig into [b]hell,
From there My hand shall take them;
(D)Though they climb up to heaven,
From there I will bring them down;
And though they (E)hide themselves on top of Carmel,
From there I will search and take them;
Though they hide from My sight at the bottom of the sea,
From there I will command the serpent, and it shall bite them;
Though they go into captivity before their enemies,
From there (F)I will command the sword,
And it shall slay them.
(G)I will set My eyes on them for harm and not for good.”

11 Therefore thus says the Lord God:

“An adversary shall be all around the land;
He shall sap your strength from you,
And your palaces shall be plundered.”

12 Thus says the Lord:

“As a shepherd [a]takes from the mouth of a lion
Two legs or a piece of an ear,
So shall the children of Israel be taken out
Who dwell in Samaria—
In the corner of a bed and [b]on the edge of a couch!
13 Hear and testify against the house of Jacob,”
Says the Lord God, the God of hosts,
14 “That in the day I punish Israel for their transgressions,
I will also visit destruction on the altars of (A)Bethel;
And the horns of the altar shall be cut off
And fall to the ground.
15 I will [c]destroy (B)the winter house along with (C)the summer house;
The (D)houses of ivory shall perish,
And the great houses shall have an end,”
Says the Lord.

God’s Punishments Have Not Reformed Israel

Hear this word, you (E)cows of Bashan, who are on the mountain of Samaria,
Who oppress the (F)poor,
Who crush the needy,
Who say to [d]your husbands, “Bring wine, let us (G)drink!”
(H)The Lord God has sworn by His holiness:
“Behold, the days shall come upon you
When He will take you away (I)with fishhooks,
And your posterity with fishhooks.
(J)You will go out through broken walls,
Each one straight ahead of her,
And you will [e]be cast into Harmon,”
Says the Lord.
